now it is already better very good 8.72 or yes or even in some parameters it is better than the t-90 of the russian a-a p olezhe and briefly, please, how possible is the threat from transnistria in your opinion, i think that this is purely a provocation and a special operation of the russian special services in order to pull part of the forces of the armed forces of ukraine away from the main areas of struggle and the main areas of defense precisely from donetsk, therefore the threat there is not very great and to strengthen this group without passing through our territory or the airspace of this it is impossible or through romania, well, we know that romania is a nato member country and i think it is unlikely that it will let russian planes through. thank you oleg zhdanov , a reserve colonel, a military expert, was our guest. more news. angelika sezonenko is ready

necessary because the enemy is insidious, but we do not know what the enemy's next actions will be. you must prepare the cities for defense, of course, fortifications that will save our soldiers' lives and allow them to effectively implement measures from the defense of our city, sanctions pressure on russia is increasing poland introduced new restrictions against russian and belarusian oligarchs and also gazprom about it on its twitter page the minister of internal affairs of poland, mario kaminsky, said the sanctions list includes 50 items , including companies that imported coal from donbas to poland, the country can apply four types of restrictive measures, freezing funds , entry is prohibited, a fine of up to 20 million zlotys and participation in state tenders is prohibited, the sanctions

should help ukraine and stop the aggressor ukraine clearly believes that it can win and everyone here also needs our help for this, not only now but also after the end of the war, the invasion of russia is groundless and illegal, it is a challenge to the international order based on rules this is a challenge to free people all over the world, we see that the nations of the world are united in their determination to support ukraine in its struggle against the imperial aggression of russia. britain is increasing humanitarian support to help damaged ukrainians this was reported to the hospitals by prime minister boris johnson. london is sending 22 new equipment , ambulances have already arrived in ukraine, more than 40 fire trucks filled with rescue equipment, in particular, 10,000 pieces of protective clothing , during the full-scale war in russia,

by the kremlin, because this part of moldova is occupied by russia in the cities of transnistria, roadblocks will be set up, many people are already trying to leave the region, the security forces have switched to a salted mode of operation, the training will take place online, the parade on may 9 has been canceled. thus, the moscow authorities can create conditions for the introduction of military state and mobilization for participation in the war against ukraine in kremenchuk, instead of mayakovsky street, the street of unity of ukraine will be such a decision to change the name of the deputies of the city council adopted at an extraordinary meeting of the session , more details in our story on this former mayakovsky street at the beginning of the war families of forcibly displaced people from kharkiv

mariupol sums of donetsk and luhansk regions live here according to the words of bohdan lazorenka, a deputy of the city council, the decision was voted in remote mode unanimously, this name is the answer to the challenge faced by all ukrainians, and therefore when we win, when we push putin's army back to where it came from. when people return to their homes, they will be able to proudly say that they lived and received them and helped them precisely in the kremenchka on the street of the unity of the unity of all ukraine from in 2015, after the law on decommunization in poltava oblast came into effect, several streets were renamed, more than a hundred pedestals and memorial signs related to the soviet union were dismantled, ordinary passers-by in kremenchuk share their opinions about the new name of the street, now this uh, it needs to be done and it needs to be discussed , something needs to be done for a meeting, well, not even for a

meeting, but for people to unite and not even to rename a street, this is already a step towards this ukrainian, we just need to do it a long time ago in order to unite us even before all these events, the city authorities promised that the process of russification of toponyms in kremenchuk will continue in the future, taking into account the suggestions of the residents of the community , during the war in odessa, near the former building of the russian consulate general, an artistic expression appeared pro-ukrainian graffiti, according to public figures, inscriptions on the fence were created by odessa artists among the patriotic graffiti, the words ukraine , odessa and a patriotic slogan. also there appeared the names of ukrainian cities that were destroyed during the war . 00 let's meet

, the espresso team is ready for you, the next issue, fight, let's fight, watch our channel's espresso news and euro programs espresso for ukrainian refugees in europe, a joint broadcast with on the atn channel radio svoboda programs voice of america time-time programs inclusion of journalists from public television bbc news ukraine and franz 24 as well as the broadcast of the information marathon united news together we are the force glory to ukraine put espresso back on the air and i feel very bad about this because there should be an alternative point of view and especially as objective and deep as espresso does with deep analytics without political coloring the main word is we are not here i am how some

other political figures do it i really like i like that they turned off the place, they turned off both the direct channel and the 5th channel, that is the only channel that could be watched, no, i think that there is no, i don’t like that they and i don’t include foreign observers in the program, i think that it is inappropriate. well, in general, i have a negative attitude. i think that you can't turn on the channels in principle, this is absolutely the first thing. i love this channel because it is an absolutely patriotic channel. you see that i am a patriot of ukraine and absolutely sincere, and i consider this to be an attack on freedom of speech. now this is important and this is simply disgraceful, president zelenskyi, put espresso back on the air let's protect the information front together glory to ukraine glory to the heroes thank

you for being with us and supporting the ukrainian view of the world we continue to work and do the same deep analytics for you that people just said about in an interview with us journalists are just on the street , we hope that the authorities will come to their senses and it is difficult to find a return from the press of t2 extreme, no one was disconnected or somehow it was disconnected on the 62nd day of the war of russia against ukraine and we are working all the espresso team so that we all know how this war is going and how we can stand together and win. hanna gubko should be with us, an expert in foreign policy, a former member of parliament , the founder of the network for the protection of national interests. in the studio from the press together with her i spoke about ukraine's potential membership in nato and the european union and she constantly fought for the interests of ukraine on the diplomatic front

hanna hopko is already with us yes mrs. hanna i congratulate you i also congratulate you. it is also nice to see you . i always say that you can make a wish to everyone who looks at us, and for now we will talk about the important thing. well, what everyone is talking about today is more than 40 countries that have gathered, or rather, representatives of the defense departments of these countries in ramstein. this is not a musical group in this case. but this is a city in germany. we understand that there is a military base of the united states of america, one of the largest, or rather the largest in europe. that is why the same strategic meeting is taking place there 40 countries participate in the advisory group on the defense of ukraine, as we have already said, we can now see a video of how it all happens at the meeting , our minister of defense oleksiy reznikov is also present, but in his speech at the beginning, the minister of defense of the states of lloyd

called this historic, noting that its purpose is to help ukraine win in wars started by the invasion of russia and to prepare the defense forces of ukraine for future challenges ah-ah mrs. hanna explain to us how to read these news, how to treat them or the truth this meeting is historic and well, in fact, the victory of ukraine will be historic, and these meetings are important elements in that the west is finally thinking in terms of categories. ukraine is winning, and this means more responsibilities for them, in particular in germany, and i hope that the representative of the us pentagon will have a serious conversation with the representatives of germany which can help us win with weapons, and the most important thing is the energy embargo is a complete embargo that applies to both oil and russian gas, the fact that we do not see political will yet, but

on the contrary, we see strategic corruption, venality of the german government who continue merkel's policy and now play along or appease the aggressor during a full-scale and already war so at this meeting i really hope that all the military needs for offensive weapons for the de-blockade of the black sea because if we get anti- ship missiles in order to russia did not have an advantage in the sea, we continued those hostilities, or in this victory chords when neptune sunk moscow, but nevertheless, we need more advantages in the sea so that the russians do not could er and er bomb ukraine and, as they say, cause damage to us due to the economic blockade, as well as other mines in the black sea, so i really hope that this meeting will increase

the speeding up and discussion of er points regarding the supply of weapons to us regarding tanks that concerns e-e missile systems of salvo fire and as for the defense of e-e at sea from the air, there is the issue of mariupol, the question of where the black sea blockade of the protection of odessa is. direction for moldova, therefore it is very important that the united states of america should feel that they are responsible and can do more at their own level and at the level of nato, forcing nato member countries because it is from the american budget that most of the countries and our neighbors poland, slovakia, romania, bulgaria, they will receive modern weapons. when will we be given soviet models ? mrs. hanno. and why exactly in germany is this

connected with germany's position, as in particular chancellor olaf schulz announced that he does not see how can an oil bargo affect putin and stop his aggression in ukraine, not because there is a military base of the united states of america there and it is very important, well, it is double. maybe you can look for some symbolism in this. but i think that a- and for the americans it is very important that germany is at the level of the european union, although after macron's victory there will now be parliamentary elections. nevertheless , it is the germans who should demonstrate not the shirodilization of the western world in general, but real support for ukraine in view of the genocide that is happening in ukraine in view of the war crimes and on the one hand we see that even the european union is unequal after the visit of kyiv to bucha, ursula fondolyan, the president of the european commission,

who was once the minister of defense of germany, we see a greater willingness than germany itself to give us weapons plus there are many countries that have the types of weapons that we need, e.e. the netherlands, for example. they have to get permission from germany, so one of the tasks of this meeting, e. rammstein, is to e e pressure germany in order for them to speed up deliveries to ukraine , even where there is a certain blockade . well, in fact, these are the countries in which all of this is what we now vitally need, and we can assume that the decision to close the sky, which our president is constantly talking about, will be accepted, and all the

diplomats are ukrainian, full or partial in which in some form, that is, they will gather now, they will sit like this in ukraine, the 62nd day of the war, is it for them, well, after all, no, it is not a question from some first first five, in fact, they should develop a strategy, what does the geopolitical victory of ukraine mean and what is the future of the russian federation, this conversation is long overdue, just as the soviet union was collapsing and many western leaders were not ready, they were worried about nuclear weapons. and why was there pressure on ukraine from the soviet, well, from moscow and from washington regarding nuclear disarmament now we also understand that it is very important to explain what should be eh from a collective event strategy what to do with eh with russia after putin let it be after his regime eh and eh it is obvious that e for

the putin regime to speed up the end is the issue of economy and energy once again, the embargo is one of the key and, in parallel, the constant armament of ukraine is an offensive weapon so that we can win back the occupied territories in the kherson oblast. temporary donbas and crimea and to have all the necessary weapons for this, because there are different scenarios of the development of events, in particular regarding the stockpiles of russia , well, i mean the prerequisites for some integration, but without an embargo, we see globally, the situation of world prices for e-e, gas , oil, so far, it does not contribute to the fact that e-e gdp falls significantly. in ukraine, we even see a drop in gdp there, e-e, we expect 40%. therefore, it is necessary

for the united states of america to talk with the opec countries, in particular, regarding prices and the embargo. well, at the same time you rightly said that the ukrainian nato members, for example norway and those in the eastern flank of nato, have enough weapons that can now make a certain breakthrough in view of the demoralization of the russian army. is the issue currently being considered there, uh, in rammstein on this military base where 40 representatives of the defense departments of 40 countries gathered about the possible use of nuclear weapons by putin, because the ukrainian army is now demonstrating colossal resistance and this is obviously, this is unexpectedly possible for many, yes, well, obviously, but here's the thing is there still a threat of putin's use of nuclear weapons in some form? are the representatives of these forty countries considering this and

do they have any countermeasures or responses ? do you think this question will be among the top priorities today? well, in fact, putin has been using intimidation for a long time measures regarding the use of tactical nuclear missiles not only against ukraine, but also against lithuania or poland as an element of deterring the west from not helping quickly and precisely the offensive weapons that we need and in the quantities that are needed for that to make certain military breakthroughs and not just contain and return the occupied territories. therefore, this is one of those horror stories that has a certain effect and is absolutely serious in the west. well, because no one knows how suicidal putin and his entourage are, although those sanctions are personal against of russian oligarchs. they have such a certain effect. but again, in order for russian society to begin to ask the question

why do we need such a leader of the kremlin when we are in complete isolation of organizations so that russian citizens who are now helping putin in fact to kill ukrainians so that they finally at least start to resist, but here i have more hope for those republics against which the russian federation has always been so the exhausting politics of tatarstan, where oil reserves were used up and created environmental problems. after all, kortostan yakutia is, that is, there are many republics where , as putin himself said, there are 2,000 conflicts with territorial claims on the territory of the russian federation, and the ministry of foreign affairs of the russian federation clearly said that after a successful special operation for the denazification of ukraine, they will deal with problem

regions in the territory of the russian federation, including dagestan and tatarstan chechnya, and they will carry out the same denazification there, so it seems to me that now in those republics, some opposition is also maturing, and that's why such a statement was made by the ministry of foreign affairs, but ukraine must clearly explain to the west that this is in their interests, a military victory of ukraine because it is a signal to china, which in the indo-pacific region also has its own appetites and even now i think that rammstein should discuss the situation in moldova, because if russia will involve transnistria, then the help of the west to moldova, as well as to ukraine with offensive weapons, is a chance for moldova to restore territorial integrity and sovereignty, but for this it must be coordinated the policy of the usa, great britain, and romania, as well as with

ukraine, if the russians want to use transnistria in some way there in order to make further attacks on odesa, but again, this may be a chance for recovery of the territorial integrity of the deoccupation of moldova and the return of transnistria, but this must be agreed clearly ms. hanna how do you assess this danger from transnistria for ukraine? more additional theaters of operations. so, and for them to slightly improve the possibilities of the offensive, in particular , on odesa, but, uh, i think that the main message of ukraine, in particular, the meeting in rammstein is rammstein . this is the list of offensive weapons from

tanks, etc., for defense, before that they asked whether ukraine could close the sky itself. if the nato member states do not want to do this, so that it is not considered that they are participating in the war, we would need destroyers, etc. we need air defense systems, and the united states of america clearly knows which exactly how to deliver them so that we can repulse russian missiles vacuum cruise missiles and others therefore, the list is there and if you do not have the political readiness to close the sky, then help us with that, we will be armed, how will i allow us to do this to make a plus in parallel in rammstein, we need to talk about training of our armed forces, in particular through military academies, these are special training centers in poland, in the usa, in the eu countries, where we already have to train pilots who will be able to, in a few months, master f16 fighters and

master modern abrams or leopard tanks. here are many other types of weapons that because we have to say that the victory of ukraine will be but after that we have to become a military power with technologies so that the military-industrial the complex of ukraine together with western companies with the best companies and we could restore the country not only buildings, but also talk about innovations in technology, joint ventures and in particular the military-industrial complex of mrs. hanna a. the current one exactly at today's meeting in germany, can there be any reaction from the side of these countries or can only moldova react to this? well, i think that ah
